Dear Jürgen:
I've been using the DVI cable provided and full resolution (I had to
set this manually in display preferences). I assume what works with
my mini and my airbook would also work with a macbook pro. I haven't
tried the VGA option, but assume that would work too.
One thing I discovered is it doesn't work if you have display
mirroring on. If that is the case, turn it off in display
preferences, and hopefully it will then work.
If not, try tilting the screen up or down a little bit (or move your
head relative to the screen).
I went through a bit of frustration but it was all due to user error
on my part.
Is the DVI cable just dead?
Did you issue the command in coot to start the stereo specific to
Zalman mode?
Try the latest PyMOL too. You have to rename it MacPyMOLZalman.app
first. Then open it, and if it isn't already in stereo, just hit the
"stereo" menu item.
Depending on the positioning of the window, and number of pixels, you
can have the image reversed, so check to see if that is happening, as
it ruins the 3D effect.
Good luck. Hope it is working for you soon.
Bill

Hi Bill,
I have received my two Zalmans yesterday and I wanted to try them
out today. I don't seem to have the right settings I assume as I get
a double vision image e.g. a loop that is supposed to be in the back
in 3d splits up and you can see two lines (that's as Calpha). I have
played with the resolution of the monitor to decrease it to 768x1024
but the two lines still persist.
I'm using the latest 15" MacBookPro via MiniDisplayport to VGA as
the DVI does not seem to work with the cable provided by Zalman I
assume.
My coot is
0.6-pre-1 rev 2037
I turned of spaces and enabled mirroring to keep it simple but I'm
not quite happy right now. I have not yet tried Pymol as my version
does not support the Zalman monitors.
Any suggestions what I can try to get rid of the double lines ?
Thanks,
Jürgen
